  1. And light is what we do!!!

  2. Teaching Level • Primary school children between the ages of 7. • The children would have a previous knowledge that: • plants grow from seeds

  3. Learning objectives • Awareness of the surrounding environment. • Scientific skills such as : observation, prediction, recording. • Social skills: communication, problem-solving, collaboration. • Scientific literacy.

  4. Strategies of teaching and learning • Introduction: • Go outside with the children – observe the trees and plants and conditions needed for growth. (paired work) Key questions included. • Use a light table and leaf rubbings. • Photosynthesis Rap • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi60tQa8jfE&feature=youtu.be

  5. Method: experiment • 4 samples of the same plant potted for growth but placed in different conditions • 1st: placed without light • 2nd : placed without water • 3rd: placed without air • 4th: outside with sunlight, water and air. • Key question/prediction: which will grow the best? • (plants placed for 2 weeks to see observations)

  6. Conclusion: • Discuss and record results • Introduce the key word: photosynthesis • Drama illustrating photosynthesis.

  7. Teaching model • Discovery learning • Hands-on experience with scientific topics in their own environment. • Active learning.

  8. Procedures (materials, classroom organization) • Materials needed: • Light table • Paper, crayons • Leaves • Computer - YouTube video • Potted plants • Worksheets, recording material. • PowerPoint of photos of plants and trees.

  9. Learning outcomes • The children will be enabled to: • List the 3 main elements needed for photosynthesis • Describe how plants grow. • Describe the process of photosynthesis in their own words. • Learn the rap!!!!!

  10. Evaluation of teaching and learning process • Drama on photosynthesis. • Group quiz. • Contribution to whole class discussion. • Completion of worksheet. • Draw a picture showing elements needed for photosynthesis.
